Zarpraz Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 Can't stand football, bunch of overpaid wooses and any game that is played for 90 minutes and the score is in the very low single figures is plain boring. So better foreigners waste their money than the Brits.

Brad. Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 **** sake, this **** ****es me off. Sure it's all business and what not. We're witnessing the end of real English football, I'm glad I watched the last of it as I was growing up.

So better foreigners waste their money than the Brits. Rubbish. People with any intelligence watch a game because it interests them, because of the skill of the participants, not the high nature of scores. If a touchdown was worth 2 points, and a goal 1 point, would American football be any different? That right there is what I call a typical American argument Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/787536-the-uae-strikes-again/#findComment-591205048 Share on other sites More sharing options...

deletedxyz Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 I don't see what the big deal here is. Rich people get to buy sports clubs... This unnecessary patriotism is garbage. Can't stand football, bunch of overpaid wooses and any game that is played for 90 minutes and the score is in the very low single figures is plain boring. So better foreigners waste their money than the Brits. What a load of utter rubbish. Newcastle seems to be the team acquired by Sheikh Ahmad bin Saqr. I doubt that. Newcastle is not a "a leading English club of premier league".

Football hooliganism is actually more common in Europe now, the hooligan scene in the UK is dwindling pretty seriously Edit: Also, I made an error but my point still stands having high scores isn't the only thing that makes a game interesting Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/787536-the-uae-strikes-again/#findComment-591219664 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remote Sojourner Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 That explains why you wasted your time clicking on a thread about football and taking further time to post a comment about football. As far as I know the title is UAE strikes again and has nothing to do with football. Even I think football is a bit monotonous but if someone else finds it interesting, good for them. Not everyone has to find everything interesting. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/787536-the-uae-strikes-again/#findComment-591220998 Share on other sites More sharing options...
